The Visceral Voice Podcast Christine Schneider

In today's episode I have a conversation with Clinton Sherwood. Clinton is a multi-disciplinary performer and educator living in New York City with his husband and miniature poodle.

Clinton’s decade-long career in musical theatre spans from performing on broadway and national tours to becoming an accomplished music director and choreographer, creating award-winning dance-theatre pieces and supporting the development of new works in New York City.

Clinton studied musical theatre and dance at Millikin University, and went on to earn an MFA in musical theatre from San Diego State University. Clinton first began developing what has become a career’s work in understanding and disrupting the harmful and far-reaching consequences that some artistic education spaces can have on young artists. Clinton’s graduate thesis, “The Ego and The Educator”, was the catalyst that has led to Clinton’s ongoing research and practice in anti-oppressive facilitation.

Currently, Clinton teaches private voice to BFA musical theatre students at Pace University. They also work alongside former podcast guests Joey Harrell and Jared Trudeau at BroadwayVox, where Clinton teaches dance and voice to students and working professionals here in New York.
